Sylvester Stallone's Arnie film

Sylvester Stallone wants to star in a Bollywood film with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The 'Rambo' actor is trying to convince his former 80s action rival - who is now Governor of California - to appear alongside him in the upcoming 'Incredible Love'.

However, the 'Terminator' star's political commitments may make the dream pairing impossible.

A source close to Stallone's mother Jackie said: "Sylvester is excited about doing a Bollywood movie. He knows the industry is huge.

"He wants Schwarzenegger to appear with him but Arnie's focusing all his energies on politics right now - the state of California needs attention. Food prices are rocketing because of fuel and education isn't what it was.

"Sylvester is still hoping he can convince his friend to take part - even if it's just for one day's filming."

The film focuses on an Indian stuntman who makes it big in Hollywood.

Stallone's spokesman confirmed his client will appear in the movie, saying: "Sylvester will definitely be in the film. But it's a cameo. He's not pairing up with the Governor of California."
